Hey there! I’m Ma’killa!

Based in the coastal beauty of Astoria, Oregon, I am a sucker for open roads, Good tunes, and finding any excuse to explore this incredible planet.

My love affair with photography started at age five, after a little film-destroying disaster that taught me just how precious every frame is! I’ve been fascinated ever since by the magic we miss when we move too fast: The secret smiles, the quiet heartbeats, and the golden light dancing through the trees.

I specialize in natural light, creating easygoing, soul-nourishing photo sessions for people who want to feel like themselves. It’s a fun, gentle experience dedicated to capturing what makes your world special.

You’re in the right place if you are:

  • Spontaneous, sentimental, and a little bit dorky

  • Ready to see the magic in everyday moments

  • Looking for a relaxed, natural experience instead of stiff, awkward poses

  • Not afraid to get a little dirty along the way

If the thought of being in front of a camera makes you feel a little shy or self-conscious, you’re not alone. I don’t do rigid poses or forced smiles. You don’t need to know how to pose or “act natural”, that’s my job to guide. My space is always open, kind, and judgment-free.

If you’re open-minded, ready to have some fun, and excited to see the magic in your own story, let’s meet up! Coffee. tea, or whatever you please is on me!
